ANNABELLA’S POV
Waking up in his tight embrace was the best thing I could ever dream of, his warm body against mine and his face an inch away. I raised my hand to push his hair back a little to get a proper view of his face.
Everything felt great, having him beside me and having to look at him like this for the rest of my life. My hand slightly blushed against the smooth skin on his forehead.
Even though his eyes were closed, he still looked as domineering as ever. Even in his sleep, he still exudes that cold and powerful aura. I suddenly recalled how soft his hair was and couldn’t help but run my fingers through it.
” Good morning.” His deep hoarse voice poured as he moved my hand to his face and placed a kiss in my palm. ” You are awake.” I felt like he had been pretending to be asleep; his face looked the same as before.
Not even sleep could change his handsome face but I felt his voice sounded more desiring than before. Was he sleeping?
His dark blue eyes stared back silently at me.” What is on your mind?” It was one thing for him to look at me and another to have that look on.
Silently plotting.
” Nothing much.” He said and I nodded. ” Come here.” He yanked me closer to him, his hand tightly wrapped around my waist and my head on his broad chest.
” Did something happen yesterday?” I asked; he left immediately he had the call and didn’t return until evening.” It’s nothing to worry about, ” he whispered, his breath fanning my ear.
As much as I wanted to know what was going on, I didn’t want to insist. I trust him but not to the extent of telling me everything, especially when it would harm me.
” It’s Sean.” He suddenly said, and I lifted my head to look up at his face; his eyes were closed, but I was sure he knew I was looking at him.” Did something happen?” his eyes flipped open, staring back into my green ones.” Are you close to him?” I sensed the coldness in his voice.” Does that make you unhappy?” he pulled me on top of him, and his left hand went under his head.” He is getting married, and you are not allowed to get close to any male because you are mine.” He declared possessively. Something twitched inside me, and a small smile formed on my face.” I didn’t plan to get close to any make.” my reply seemed to help him calm down.
” Did Sage invite you?” I knew his relationship with his grandfather and cousins was far from okay, but wouldn’t it be better if he got close to them a little bit? Maybe something would change.
Sage was a kind-hearted man, he might be the demon lord and the last person I should trust, but he was no stranger because Roman was related to him. ” Are you going to go?” He didn’t reply but I wished he would.
” Do you want to go?”
” I will go with whatever you decide.” I told him.” Sleep some more, you must be tired.” He said and I put my head back on his chest.
I didn’t know how I went back to sleep but when I opened my eyes again, the sun was already penetrating through the white curtains and shining on my face.
I slowly rubbed the sleep off my eyes before noticing the slightly opened curtains, I frowned.
Roman wasn’t lying beside me; my eyes ran around the room, wondering where he had gone.
It was nine in the morning, I dropped down from the bed to the bathroom. I pushed down my pants, and sat on the toilet seat, not fully awake yet.
The moment I stepped out of the bathroom, I noticed the familiar figure standing on the balcony through the thick transparent glass walls. The wind constantly blowing the curtains revealed his cold yet dominant figure.
He was standing on the balcony, his back facing me and with a stick of cigarette in his hand.
I walked over to the glass wall and pushed it slightly to the side, creating a way for me to step through.
I wrapped my hand around his waist from behind, his body stiffened at the beginning but relaxed after a few seconds. ” I thought you left.” I hugged him tightly, my head sitting at his broad back.
His upper body was uncovered. His scent mixed with that of the smoke.” I was waiting for you to go have breakfast.” He turned to face me, his expression was a bit cold.” I want to stay like this with you forever.” I whispered, his eyes moved round my face before he leaned and took my bottom lip in his mouth. The paper smell in his mouth rushed down my throat as I parted my lips for him.
” Breakfast is important, you need to feed.” I didn’t realize his hand was creasing my stomach.
” I want to be in your arms. I don’t want to go anywhere.” I told him and he smiled, dropping the cigarette in his hand.” I’m not leaving your side any time soon.” he promised.
Standing on my tip-toe, I kissed him on the lips before walking out of the room with him.
He pulled me on his lap.” You wanted to be in my arms forever?” He raised a brow, my eyes twerking from his eyes to his lips.” I don’t mind having you in my arms till eternity, ” he said, my eyes narrowed as my heart fluttered in my chest.
Why didn’t I see this earlier?
He has always wanted me, I was always the one he wanted but I got it all wrong. I misunderstood him.” I’m sorry for misunderstanding you, I mean Juliet …..”
He kissed my bare neck and then my chest.” I should have drawn the line.” he kissed my cheek and then my nose.” My action should have explained everything.” he laced his fingers with mine. ” I made a mistake, I made you angry.”
” I’m sorry.” he pleaded, his voice soft and gentle. His eyes stared pleadingly at me.
” The food is getting cold.” Madeline spoke from behind, and I turned to get off his lap but guess what? The asshole didn’t let me. He made sure to pin me on his lap.
” Enjoy your meal.” Madeline placed a plate of food and turned back with a smile. What the hell was that for?
I was about to scold him when I noticed the silent mode in his eyes; he was mindlinking.
The door suddenly clicked open, and two females with a long line of clothes stepped in.” Alpha Roman.” they seemed to be in their late thirties.
” Roman…” Vincent followed behind them.” Leave them in the room.” He instructed, his eyes turning to meet mine as if he sensed my confusion.” Sean’s wedding is in two days.” He explained and I frowned. ” I can order something else if you don’t want them.”
” What?”
Was I going to wear all of them in one day?
